Breaking - four taken to hospital - six year old dropped gun which fired.
This is my shocked face... :-|
Proof that ignorance can kill! Sometimes the innocents!
You pinpointed the root cause of incidents like this.
Have a great evening.
‘How about that kid who killed those children in the Amish school, was he involved in some street gang?’
He was a 32 year old milk truck driver, not a kid.
‘Charles Carl Roberts IV (December 7, 1973 – October 2, 2006) was an American milk truck driver who murdered five Amish girls and injured five others before killing himself in an Amish school in the hamlet of Nickel Mines’ — wiki
Well, it's not every day ya got *Kindergartners* coming to school with *loaded* guns, resulting in several being wounded.
I mean, what's next, toddlers shooting up the local day care?
“HISD officials didn’t close the school but allowed parents to pick up their children if they chose”
From the top article you linked. How kind of the school to ALLOW parents to pick up their children. That wording bothers me!
I’m close to Hollywood High school and haven’t seen one white kid in 4 years.
A similar scenario here in MA would be if a 6 yo held up his gun finger, then dropped it. The school would go into lockdown, swat teams called in, and authorities would try and figure out what other kids were pointed at by the gun finger to assess potential casualties.
OK, you establish all those checks, then run them on students, and 98% of them fail every single test. Now what? Can we change the past so that the background check can be fixed? Will we fit students with "better parents" assuming that anyone in this world would be crazy enough to adopt them?
In the past, in societies that were free of social engineering, such kids (and then people) were left alone, to mingle with others like them and live as they can. The remaining 2% did the same, but on their own level. But now a timid, smart kid has to coexist with a violent and possibly somewhat insane kid.
It's much easier to declare a classless society than actually create one. The experience of USSR tells us that it's just not possible, regardless of how much you pour into education and propaganda. Those things are largely defined by our genes, and very few people can overcome their natural instincts.
>Put the freakin guns owner in jail for at least a year! Who allows a six year old access to a loaded gun?<
Some people right here do. I said I didn’t think it was such a good idea and was called a nazi troll for my thoughts.
Then I guess 2% of them are stable enough to go to taxpayer-funded school. I don't see a problem with that.

We accept that not every kid is a good candidate to be thrown into a minimally supervised, government run institution and let their parents sort it out. There are private schools, homeschooling, and information is more available than at anytime in the past. If a kid wants to learn, he will.
Yes there is little tolerance here when it comes to straying from the path.
No...When I heard the names of the two students, I knew they were Afro-Americans. I’m not sure, but they loe to gie their children ‘UNIQUE’ names.
I didn’t see the names but just reading the demographic data indicated to me that this was a problem with diversity that the Leftists try their best to sanitize from the ears of the public.
